Cruise-control terror: nothing wrong with 4WD, says Ford

Ford Australia says it has found nothing wrong with the four-wheel drive vehicle that was stuck in cruise control at 80km/h and took its driver on a terrifying drive for more than 50 kilometres.

Driver Chase Weir feared he was going to die when his 2002 Ford Explorer was stuck at high speed on the Eastern Freeway in Melbourne last December for 54 kilometres as police frantically waved other vehicles out of his way.
